fyi, if you go to an authentic Irish pub, never call it a black and tan, call it a black and blonde. 'black and tan' was a reference to the British soldiers that would attack and abuse the Irish back in the day...look it up. Almost got my head knocked off when I ordered one...cheers
put a bit of head on the tan by pouring fast, then put the pouring spoon just into the head and pour the guinness quick too. The froth prevents momentum from mixing the two. Screw patience!
Guiness is very lightweight. The reason for the tool when pouring, is to keep the Guiness from mixing into the other beer. Nothing more than a Heavy Liquid, and a Lighter Liquid.
Perfect pour! The thing you made is PERFECT for pouring. I'm now thinking about making one of those little pour/splash reducing thingies you have there. Sweet!!
excellent pour!! Here is my tale of woe I am a expat yank living in Ireland when I lived in the States I could pour a perfect Black and Tan every time had the Guinness spoon and old style Guinness glasses.When I arrived in Ireland I went to my local and ordered a 1/2n1/2 it arrived mixed I asked for my 2nd floated the publican said huh?, I offered to show him he says I can drink free if I can float one much to my surprise I can't float a B&T here to save my ass. New coke glass style pints?
Well, I'll come clean...it was Leinie's HoneyWeiss. Slightly darker, more traditional styles didn't show up as well on film, so I compromised a little. The combination really wasn't bad at all!
It's a "black and tan spoon," also called a "brolly" by the folks at Bass Ale. Mine's homemade from some scrap stainless. You can make one out of a large spoon or buy one (sometimes they look triangular or shaped like turtles).
guinness and bass

your tan stayed about the same height after you poured the guinness, now what did you use for tan, because that worked amazing
arodgerson 2 years ago
Why do the two beers stay seperated? Was it because of the use of your spoon, or is there some kind of chemistry lesson behind it also?

It's a bit more accurate to say "denser" and "less dense".
thefringthing 2 years ago
@dvdfrnzwbr The stout is a higher density than the ale, so it floats on the top.
